Forest-floor pitches with a shared campfire; pub half an hour’s walk

Like the sound of floating down peaceful stretches of East Anglia river and spending the night wild camping under the forest canopy? Here’s your chance to take to the water in Norfolk countryside, and paddle down the River Bure to WildWood Canoe Camp, 10 minutes’ drive from the village of Wroxham. Two days and two nights of canoe hire is included in your stay at this gorgeous site. Whether you’re a Norfolk local keen to know what’s on your doorstep, or families looking for a back-to-nature adventure staycation, you’ll find yourselves in a secluded corner of the Broads, where you can spend the evening snuggled up around a cosy campfire next to the water’s edge, go wild swimming or fishing, or wildlife spot among the trees. Alternatively, a riverside path leads from the pitches to the local village of Coltishall (half an hour’s walk), with many amenities including a village shop for your essentials, pubs with delicious food and a couple of takeaways. Just so you are aware: WildWood is just that – an untamed forest floor with wild camping pitches for a back-to-basics camping experience. Minimal facilities stretch to self-composting toilets and fresh water available in jerry cans. Please be aware that there is no hot water and no electricity on the site.

Local attractions

Not too tired from all that paddling on the river? Then spend the day running off even more energy on the rope courses and jungle bridges at BeWILDerwood Norfolk (15 minutes’ drive), or head for the climbing frames and obstacle courses at Norfolk Lakes Activity Centre (half an hour). If you’re travelling with younger children, take them to meet the life-size dinosaurs and mammoths at ROARR!, and kids of all ages will be endlessly fascinated by the hairy creepy crawlies at BugzUK (both 25 minutes) too. The forest trails in Broadland Country Park (15 minutes), are particularly pretty when the bluebells are out in spring or the leaves golden in autumn, while other gentle family walks can be found along the Bure Valley Railway Path, 10 minutes’ walk from the campsite. If the weather turns on you, seek refuge among the model train sets and dolls’ houses at Wroxham Miniature Worlds (10 minutes’ drive).
